A central Illinois law enforcement official is highlighting some trends he's noticing in his community.

Monticello Police Chief Rob Bross indicates they are experiencing an uptick in minor vehicle accidents involving very young drivers and very veteran drivers. With the advent of great technology in cars, some drivers are getting too reliant on those things.

While many may assume teens are susceptible to driving distracted, everyone has access to these devices and there are similar issues to distracted driving no matter the age.

As for older drivers, Chief Bross indicates they are encountering some drivers who should really not be behind the wheel any longer. While difficult, he understands the conversations families have to have with those older loved ones.
